An alternative to leaving Duke Energy and forming a traditional municipal utility might be creating a self-funding municipal sustainable energy utility like the one Ann Arbor's developing. They will do solar and batteries for households using cheap municipal financing, but alongside their existing private utility, without trying to take it over.

Leaving Duke Energy and forming a municipal-run utility instead could save residents millions on their electric bills. The estimated savings would average about 7% each year for the first five years, but then residents’ bills would be about 18% lower annually in the following 25 years as benefits accumulated.

After five years of aggressive legal maneuvering, Georgia Power has lost its battle to stop Nestlé Purina from choosing a different Georgia utility that could deliver better renewable energy options to its factory. In doing so, Georgia Power not only lost a major customer, it handed Walton EMC a victory that may open a new pathway for large companies seeking renewable energy options in Georgia.
